AND IN RELATED NEWS, SUPREME COURT HOLDS THAT CAKE IS DELICIOUS: As someone involved in litigating a case in which the major legal statement "Consumers are sophisticated enough to distinguish between vodka and rum" was made, I've always had a soft spot for unusual legal opinions. Today, we have a topper to that--the Seventh Circuit's opinion in Crue v. Aiken. Crue involves certain First Amendment issues connected with the University of Illinois' use of "Chief Illiniwek" as a mascot/symbol and NCAA regulations involving contact with prosecutive student athletes, but the legal analysis isn't what fascinates here. No, it's the two-page discussion of the judge's favorite college mascots, in which he holds that the best college nickname is the "UC Santa Cruz Banana Slugs," and footnotes to "Pulp Fiction," that wins the day here. Read. Enjoy.
Thanks to Bashman for the pointer.
